What gifts does he have? We have had strong arm quarterbacks before. We have had quarterbacks that can run. Arch is not accurate, he can’t see the field or handle a blitz. Quite certain the NFL is seeing that. 

He has a strong arm and is a good runner. Those are gifts, he is not gifted right now in being able to process and really deeply know the game or offense the way he should.

A lot of quarterbacks have strong arms and can run. They just don’t do it very well. He’s been here four years and doesn’t know the offense? The coach/oc has not changed. How many more years does he need?

Bad QB play has resulted in many a coach getting fired ... Sark your up. What you going to do?

I doubt he has much arm strength for deep ahit hunting Sark loves. Offense would probably look more like when Ewers played, but you'd hope for more athleticism on the pocket than that.

Remember, all we heard in the spring was KJ moves the ball…. Kinda makes me think he would be a good option to try 🤷🏻

What other levers does sark have on offense besides benching arch at this point? It’s his last play before folding the cards. He is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He bet his tenure on Arch and it went sideways for whatever reason.

I’m not sure you read my whole comment initially. I said you have to bench him and that he may not be the QB for Texas.

Doesn’t matter who is at QB if your center keeps letting an untouched rusher straight into the backfield 

This right here. Blocking matters 

hitting wide open receivers matters too but how many sacks are we giving up and even worse how many are happening when we really can’t afford them

To your point, I thought Russell at Bama was elite . Tenn. D yesterday made him look like , well, like Arch has looked in some games. I think one reason we lost yesterday is  going for it end of first half at mid field with two TD lead giving them short field to go down and score. We can not pick up fourth and one . I think Arch needs to transfer and play another year. Go to Indiana or Kentucky or LSU and see what they can do with him. Really like the kid but not working out here. By the way, we are not only ranked team to lose yesterday. Never seen anything like yesterday. Can we say parity?

To back your point , see Keelon Russell yesterday against Tenn. Tenn., D made him look bad.
